Iranian Dried Lime Filling (Limoo Amani) by Bahraman

Persian Dried Lime, known as Limoo Amani, is a cherished ingredient in traditional Iranian cuisine, loved for its sharp tang, subtle bitterness, and deeply aromatic qualities. These limes are carefully picked at peak ripeness and naturally sun-dried, transforming them from fresh citrus fruits into dark, hollow gems of flavor. Through this traditional preservation method, the limes develop a rich, complex taste that brings depth to a wide range of dishes. Commonly used in classic stews like Abgoosht (Dizi) and Ghormeh Sabzi, as well as in soups and rice-based meals, Limoo Amani infuses each dish with a distinctive sourness and earthy undertone that is difficult to replicate. The name Limoo Amani originates from the Amani region in southern Iran, where these dried limes were historically produced. Whether used whole, pierced, or ground into a fine powder, they are an essential part of the Iranian spice rack and a beloved ingredient in Middle Eastern kitchens worldwide. Their global reputation continues to grow as more people discover the magic they bring to both traditional and modern recipes. If you’re looking to elevate your cooking with bold, authentic flavors, Persian Dried Lime is a must-have ingredient. Add Limoo Amani to your pantry today and experience the soul of Persian cuisine.
